Scopely Details Month-Long Recovery from Crippling Ransomware Attack
Logistics software provider Scopely has shared a detailed account of a recent ransomware attack that disrupted its operations for a month. The security breach was initiated through a social engineering scheme targeting a new employee with a fake IT support call. Hackers from the 'Meow' group used the stolen credentials to deploy ransomware, encrypting company systems. Scopely refused to pay the ransom, instead focusing on a full, month-long restoration from backups. By publicizing the 'hacker's playbook,' the company aims to help others in the industry strengthen their defenses against similar cyber threats.
